Does Ford have something similar to GM's glove box label listing
every thing that vehicle left the factory with?
Here is mine and you will need a decoder list to figure it out
In that listing, it tells that mine has a big block, locker diff,
4.1 diff ratio, 2nd/3rd row seats, etc, etc

Again, the OP is looking for a higher capacity truck, so along with
that higher capacity marketing nomenclature...goes the GVWR
A 'lower' end 'half ton' would have a GVWR in the 6,000 range. Middle
level 'half ton' would have a GVWR in the 7,000 range. High end 'half
ton' would have a GVWR in the 8,000 range.
Why is it so hard to look at the drivers door for the GVWR and then
make the association to that 'Max Tow' marketing badging?
Proves that the OEM's demographics survey's correct...their buying
public do NOT understand ratings nor the numbers...they like and/or
only understand the marketing verbiage
